Internet of Things (IoT)

Formal	A network of physical objects that contain embedded technology to communicate and sense or interact with their internal states or the external environment. Read More
Practical	Internet-connected physical devices, in many cases everyday objects (things), that can communicate their status, respond to events, or even act autonomously. This enables communication among those things, closing the gap between the real and the virtual world and creating smarter processes and structures that can support us without needing our attention. IoT has evolved from the convergence of wireless technologies, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), and the Internet. Read More
